LAS VEGAS – Colorado State guard Dorian Green will once again be a game-time decision as he rehabs a sprained right ankle in advance of Friday’s Mountain West tournament semifinal against UNLV.

The senior practiced today, which was a positive sign. Green reported feeling better running and cutting, but by no means is anywhere near 100 percent. The plan is to have him suit up and go through warmups before making a final decision.

“It’s getting better,” Green said. “Today was huge.”

CSU coach Larry Eustachy doesn’t sound too enthusiastic about running his senior leader out there for a game that won’t mean much in terms of the Rams NCAA Tournament fortunes. Eustachy would rather have a fully healthy Green for next week’s tournament game than a hobbled one against the Rebels.

Still, he reluctantly did not rule out Green’s presence on the court tomorrow.

Even if Green does play, there’s a good chance he’ll be held to a minute-limit — in the 20-minute range — and may not start. Sophomore Jon Octeus started in his place in the quarterfinal game against Fresno State, and got good reviews from Eustachy.
